Astrological Characteristics by Kerry

SCORPIO
Happy Birthday to the most intense, passionate, and discerning sign of the Zodiac!
While you are not one to take change lightly, you still have another year ahead of it, particularly around all close relationships, the residence (a move is possible), and the career.   But fear not ~ it can be good!  It’s the Universes way of forcing you out of your comfort zone back onto your life path.  
The most unpredictable, perhaps unstable, and maybe the most exciting part of your life, has been around romance and children.  There’s a need for independence here and fear of commitment is possible.  Your offspring may be asserting their individuality and trying to define their own unique identity.   Lovers and kids will crave more freedom and not want to conform to rules and restrictions.  The best way to handle both may be to hold on with an open hand or to try something  unconventional. 
Your creative energies and your social attitudes are becoming more eclectic, electric, and maybe eccentric too!  This could pose a conflict with more conservative friends or groups that are a mainstay in your life.   November can pose challenges.  The trick is to find compromise without sacrificing your individuality.  Remember the old Sly and the Family Stone song: “I want to thank you for letting me be myself”!!!?   However, your public image may suffer as you go through your metamorphosis.
You’ll feel a weight lifted come December.  The key to all of the above is communication which is in your favor until January.  Teaching, not preaching, works best, when trying to convey new thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. 
Your whole thought process is on the verge of a major 15 year transformation.  You’re coming off a 14 year cycle that made you reevaluate your values.  Now you have to apply this to those closest to you such as family and community members. 
You are going to be more intense than usual!!  Find an outlet for your passion, such as writing, or researching on the internet.   Neighbors may begin to look suspicious but that’s their issue, not yours!   All this pent up energy requires a release so use it constructively or accidents are possible.  There could also be a deep desire to learn more about things in your immediate environment.  Expect pleasant surroundings after the 12th!
Affairs around the home and family are more serene now although you might encounter some personal obstacles the 1st-6th.  A new spiritual or artistic element would greatly enhance this sector and fulfill part of your destiny ~ also, anything musical or metaphysical.  Water problems around real estate should be subsiding.  It would benefit you greatly to add a nautical or water feature to your home now such as a fountain, fish tank, or pool.  Aromatherapy can work wonders for your inner being.
This is your month to relish your personal passion, drive, and ambition!  You have all the tools available to be assertive and get your point across.   From the 16th-22nd, your energies will shift toward your personal income and finances.  This sector is highly favored until the 12th when affairs come to a head or fruition!
Try and go with the flow Scorpio so you can be open to all the greatness the Universe has to offer you!
